Where to get & service Minis in Little Rock?

[motoboy]

I live in LR, am considering a Mini, and would greatly appreciate help: 1) Memphis seems the closest dealer--how are they? 2) Does anyone in town service them? Other service details, frequency, cost, etc.? 3) Custom ordering positive there, and how long does that take? 4) I commute 100 miles a day, and I'm 6'2--thoughts on both counts? Thank you!

I can't talk to you about anything other than #4....I am 6' 3" and I do not have the seat all the way back in mine. I can scoot up a bunch and let someone ride behind my seat for a 30 minute trip before it becomes uncomfortable. YMMV.

When I bought the car the dealer gave me the option of extending the stripes down through the grille for another $40. Have a look in my gallery and you can see how it looks in back!

Me likey! Is your car British Racing Green? Mine's an 06 MCS Cabrio, BRG with white stripes on the 'bonnet'. I have different wheels, but our cars are pretty similar.

No Sir...It is Astro Black - which is actually a really blue/black. Is yours a Sidewalk and if so how did you get different wheels?

I really don't know what a Sidewalk is, honestly. I have seen a picture of my wheels on this site. I guess I should take a picture of my car and make it part of my sig, like you did. I have the paperwork I got with the car that lists what 'packages' it has. I just always thought Minis were cool. I was looking for a small car at a Mazda dealership local to me, and my GF saw the Mini. She thought it was way cool, too, so it came home with us. Thanks to this site, I found all the go-fast goodies for Minis, and they should start showing up soon. Later on, I'm gonna do some cosmetic stuff. And your stripes are just what I want.

I learned something Mini today. I had heard the term Sidewalk, but until today did not know what that was. Mine is not a Sidewalk version. It's just an S Cabrio.
